On the same day Mayor Eric Adams insisted he isn’t going anywhere, scores of protesters marched in Lower Manhattan Sunday demanding that Gov. Kathy Hochul use her executive power to remove the embattled mayor from power.
Some 200 demonstrators from a coalition of activist groups — including Food & Water Watch, New York Communities for Change, Make the Road New York, Rise and Resist, and Jews For Racial and Economic Justice — gathered for the rally on a rainy Feb. 16 under the arch next to the David N. Dinkins Manhattan Municipal Building. They joined the calls of a growing number of Democratic political leaders who have been pressuring Hochul to give Adams the boot after President Trump’s Justice Department filed a motion to dismiss the five-count criminal indictment against Hizzoner “without prejudice,” fearing that he would do Trump’s bidding in exchange for dropping the charges.
